We are excited to bring the health & safety community together for two days of learning and networking at the 2025 Safeguard National Health & Safety Conference.

Join us this year on 17 and 18 June as we collectively explore the theme STAYING CURIOUS.

Cultivating the habit of curiosity keeps us alert and receptive to new thinking and helps prevent us becoming the sort of person who responds “because we’ve always done it this way”.

You don’t want to be that person, and nor do our stimulating lineup of speakers!

We look forward to seeing you at Safeguard Conference 2025!
